A few hours ago Daniel "MrGR33N13" Colman was crowned the winner of the EPT10 Grand Final Super High Roller tournament, a $100,000 rebuy tournament that only the best of the best can afford to participate in. It didn't look as if Colman would win however, as he bought into the tournament a massive three times, for a total investment of $300,000.

So he set sail and began grinding his way towards the final table, where he then played some solid poker and ended heads up against online superstar Daniel "Jungleman" Cates.

The complete payout list is as follows:
